Mayor Sarno stated, “I am very pleased with the significant progress we have made in the management of our utility and efficiency of our school and municipal facilities. Even though we are confronted with older buildings that had fallen into disrepair because of budgetary constraints, the City’s Facilities Division has been able to remedy existing problems and has begun to implement proactive measures to ensure that all municipal buildings provide a comfortable, secure setting for students and the general public. We have much more to accomplish in the area of energy efficient upgrades and will continue to search for all grant resources in making this a reality.”
